Every day, around the clock, our nation鈥檚 first responders give it their all. The job is uniquely rewarding. It鈥檚 also uniquely challenging, with physical, mental and emotional impacts.
Our inaugural , which ran from March 27-31, was designed to provide resources, support and community to help public safety personnel better understand the mental and physical health risks that come with the job. Every day, we tackled a different issue impacting the health of first responders, including nutrition, sleep hygiene, mental well-being and healthy coping strategies.
Below, we have rounded up the top #FirstResponderWellnessWeek social media posts from police, fire and EMS agencies nationwide. These agencies fully embraced Wellness Week to ensure their employees are physically and mentally fit.
